The Grenfell Tower saga enters several more stages of lunacy as what started as a simple humanitarian tragedy was first stolen by the Corbynites as a political issue, who then elevated it to virtual accusations of ‘rich people murdering the poor’ and now its being hijacked from the Lefties by the racists. Not, like ‘racists’ – Read More-
I’d just like to point out that the current All Blacks team is not weak, average or even merely ‘ok’. Like all their teams, they are outstanding. Every player. Their method of play. Their link-ups. Its all and always, the best there is. Just thought I’d get that out there before someone pipes up with – Read More-
Things you don’t expect from the geezer filling up your car at the Chevron on Hollywood Blvd in 1981: Ability to speak English Ability to be English Any intelligence whatsoever A sense of humour So as I stood there fillin’ up the old Cadilacs and Pontiacs and Chevies with ‘unleaded’ and regular, wearing my rather – Read More-
Much as I have nothing but sympathy with the entire Grenfell Tower business, I’ve now officially ‘ad enough. The event has been politicised, hi-jacked and has descended into a class-war witch hunt. Not to the degree that it’ll detract from the rugby tomorrow but its just become really annoying. Emails show that they cut costs – Read More-
I’ve said it for years. Though mainly to Mel. And mainly on holiday. I’ve said: HOW MUCH FUCKING BOTTLED WATER DO WE NEED???? Because she worries about dehydration. In Scotland.

Jon Snow, the veteran news broadcaster has found himself(ie) in deep doo-doo. He was photographed in the deep other-doo-doo that is the mud at Glastonbury with bunches of kids, all having fun and frolics in wonderfully high spirits. And Jon was joining in a rousing chorus of ‘fuck the tories, da-dee da-dum, dee-whatever’. Oh no! – Read More-
How’s this for scary. For thousands of years people had found great big, almost perfectly triangular white stones, about the size of a hand, and not known from whence they came. Speculation went with the times. They’re petrified tongues of dragons, they’re from the moon, God done it, usual stuff. But what they in fact – Read More-
The initial hypothesis of this study in child psychology was that an infant could be quite happily separated from its mother (and more importantly, from her breasts) for a short period of time as long as sufficient care, protection, love and alternative foodage were to be made sufficiently available. The purpose of the study was – Read More-
The rugby yesterday was awesome. The Lions were amazing in places, outstanding at times, wonderful in general. Very impressive. Yet not enough. Which is why they lost. Because to compete with the All Blacks you need to be all that, but ALL the time. Any lapse and its punished. As happened yesterday. As I like – Read More-
Here’s something new. An actual quote, as it was spoked, from Jeremy Corbyn, with no embellishment, enhancement, improvement or abuse: (clear throat, ahem): From Hillsborough, to the child sex abuse scandal, to Grenfell Tower – the pattern is consistent: working-class people’s voices are ignored. How is that viewed as anything short of blatant politicising? Of – Read More-
